The H120's strengths are a decent analog lineout, and a great optical out. Other players can best the h120 headphone out quality (ipod and x5 come to mind).

maybe I did not explain well, You must experience the following combo:

1. Normal Ipod like devices with analog output to a headphone amp.

2. iriver H120 with headphone amp with DAC input(or similar configuration).


Is there a significant difference in sound quality between, the two?

Yes, I'll note that at the beginning of the list, thanks!

Updated to add the forthcoming 120GB Pacemaker pocket-size DJ system.

Does anyone know if the Archos 404 has digital out through the DVR dock? I noticed the DVR dock has coaxial out, but can it output stereo from MP3s or is it only 5.1/stereo AC3?

You can add these PCDP's:

Sony D-E01 (optical)
Sony D-EJ01 (optical)

I hate to burst your bubble but this device has no digital out.

The USB jack is for computer connection, and it has two 3.5mm stereo line out jacks. No optical jack on the unit.

I guess the email I got from their engineer, and them answering my question on the site are both wrong?

"Daniel Wallner

Line out is either analog or coaxial S/PDIF (selectable)."

"

Pacemaker says

The Pacemaker has S/PDIF out via coaxial.

OverlordXenu says

What will the S/PDIF be over, coaxial, optical, or what?

5 days ago"

Thanks, nf, list updated!

Updated with the Kenwood DPC-92.

 

[Dexdexter]

Updated to include the Prestigio Digital Multimedia PMP-301.

Unfortunately, it requires an external screen or monitor.

Not sure whether or the stand-alone Prestigio models output coaxial SPDIF:

PMP-501

PMR-701

Anyone know?

You can add sony D-E885, E990, E905 having optical
also Japanese versions only EJ990 EJ888 EJ999 if you can find 'em!
probably safe to say that if the EJ521 has an optical out then the EJ611 and EJ621 do also

Thanks, tako, list updated!

But I've not been able to confirm optical out on the D-EJ621 just yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Any info about Line out like the X5L ?

It comes with an A/V cable, which has SPDIF on it. I posted the picture somewhere...Let me try to find it.
